Turnover is currently £181,284 per annum with a gross profit of 41.4%, offering vast potential to increase trade through proactive marketing and from increasing the wholesale business through other outlets. The business is fully equipped and benefits from a freehold warehouse, which is approximately 1600 ft.ý, situated 200 yards from the main shop. This houses 160 tropical tanks, 13 cold water tanks and 10 cold water vats, with in excess of 8000 gallons of stored water. There is also a spacious four bedroom house attached to the business. Further potential exists from developing the warehouse to residential properties as it benefits from its own access road. Seaside Aquatics has only come to the market through our client's personal circumstances and his wish for a change of direction. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the potential it has to offer.
